A couple of weeks ago, my friend Laura asked me if I could make something similar to the adorable clouds featured at a party by Little Pear. Lauras daughter loves Peppa Pig so Laura threw her a Peppa Pig/Muddy Puddles themed party and the clouds fit in perfectly.

Not only is Laura a crazy talented photographer, but she puts together the most amazing parties for her kiddos that I have ever seen. She gets all the details perfect and the kids always have a blast. This party was no exception. I mean, look at that dessert setup! So flipping cute!

 Aside from super cute party decor, I think these cloud mobiles would look adorable in a childs room. I hung this up in Olivers room to take a picture and he was so bummed when I had to take it down.

Anyhow, these were pretty easy to make so of course I had to document the process for you all. 

Tape 4 pieces of paper together and draw a cloud on it. Cut it out. I made 3 clouds for Laura so I made 2 cloud patterns in slightly different sizes. Cut your pattern out.

Fold your fabric or felt in half. Pin the cloud pattern on and cut it out.

Draw your heart or print one off from the internet. Cut it out and trace it on the fabric youll be using for your hearts (make sure to fold your fabric in half first so youll have 2 sides for each heart). I made 3 hearts for my larger clouds and 2 hearts for my smaller cloud.

Cut the hearts out.

Pin the 2 sides of your cloud together and sew about a 1/4" in. Make sure you leave an opening large enough to flip it right side out.

Flip your cloud right side out and use scissors (or chopstick, etc) to push out all the edges.

Stuff your cloud with fiber fill. Youll want it fluffy but not so fluffy that you cant sew the opening closed.

To close up the cloud, fold the edges in a bit and do a simple whip stitch to sew it closed. (If youre wondering what the heck a whip stitch is, click here.)

Youre all finished with the cloud now and ready to start the hearts. Pin the sides of your hearts together and stitch about 1/8" in. Again, be sure to leave an opening large enough to turn them right side out.

Flip your hearts right side out. At this point, I turned the open edges in and ironed the hearts. Stuff with fiberfill.

Using the same whip stitch, stitch your hearts closed. My hearts look a little wonky but I think it adds to the charm.

Now take a length of your monofilament and thread it through a needle. Tie a knot at the end and sew through the top center of your heart.

Now take the needle and sew through the cloud where you want your heart to hang. Knot it. Do this for all of your hearts.

The last step is to thread a long length of the monofilament through the top center of your cloud so youll have something to hang it with. And thats it. Done.
